Community members living in the Muir and Lyons area now have an option to stay closer to home when enjoying a lunch from the Ionia County Commission on Aging.

Each Monday, the Lyons-Muir Church will host a noon luncheon, delivered by the commission. The lunches are the same meals offered and prepared at the Ionia location.

Ionia County Commission on Aging Nutrition Director Lisa Insley said she received numerous requests for the service. After speaking with the church pastor and the board, the meals were approved and volunteers were set to make sure the meals go smoothly.

"This is an area we feel is underserved by the commission on aging," said Insley. "We're excited to be in partnership with the Lyons-Muir Church."

Lyons-Muir Church member Kris Haskins said all are welcome to attend the weekly event that will not only increase community interaction, but also will provide funds for the commission.

"It's a good opportunity for people to get together in fellowship," said Haskins.

Lunch is a suggested donatio of $3 for seniors and $5 for non-seniors. The Lyons-Muir Church is located at 1047 Olmstead Road. To RSVP for lunches, call 616-527-5372.
